Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Canada

QA/QC protocols followed at the Valentine Gold Mine include the insertion of blanks and standards at regular intervals in each sample batch. Drill core is cut in half with one half retained at site, the other half tagged and sent to Eastern Analytical Limited in Springdale, NL. Eastern Analytical is ISO 17025 accredited for Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy for gold following fire assay preparation methods and is independent of Calibre. All samples are analyzed for Au by fire assay (30g) with AA finish. Samples that assayed greater than or equal to 300 ppb gold were subjected to a total pulp metallic sieve procedure. Samples that fall within mineralized zones that are <300 ppb are also reanalyzed by screen metallics. The analytical results are captured in an acQuire database, which is programmed to utilize the screen metallic values over the standard fire assays if data is available.

Nicaragua

Calibre maintains a Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") program for all its exploration projects using industry best practices. Key elements of the QA/QC program include verifiable chain of custody for samples, regular insertion of certified reference standards and blanks, and duplicate check assays. Drill core is halved and shipped in sealed bags to Bureau Veritas in Managua, Nicaragua, an independent analytical services provider with global certifications for Quality Management Systems ISO 9001:2008, Environmental Management: ISO14001 and Safety Management OH SAS 18001 and AS4801. Prior to analysis, samples are prepared at Veritas' Managua facility and then shipped to its analytical facilities in Vancouver, Canada. Half core samples are also shipped in sealed bags to ALS’ prep facility in Managua, Nicaragua. ALS has a global quality program that includes internal and external inter-laboratory test programs and regularly scheduled internal audits that meet all requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015. Prior to analysis samples are prepared at ALS’ Managua facility then shipped to its analytical facility in Lima, Peru. Gold analyses are routinely performed via fire assay/AA finish methods. For greater precision of high-grade material, samples assaying 10 g/t Au or higher are re-assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Analyses for silver and other elements of interest are performed via Induction Coupled Plasma (ICP).

Nevada

Key elements of the QA/QC program include the insertion of assay standards, blanks, and duplicates in the sample stream to ensure the assay lab results are within specified performance levels. Down hole deviation surveys are provided by International Directional Services, utilizing a surface recording gyroscope, and by trained drill crews operating a north seeking gyroscope supplied by REFLEX. RC drilling was performed by Boart Longyear of Salt Lake City, Utah and Alford Drilling from Elko, Nevada. Assays were performed by ALS, Reno where fire assays were determined on a 30-gram charge with an AAS finish. An additional cyanide leach assay was also completed. ALS carries ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certification.

  1. The mineral reserve estimates were prepared by Marc Schulte, P.Eng. (who is also an independent Qualified Person), reported using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards, and have an effective date of November 30, 2022.
  2. Mineral reserves are mined tonnes and grade; the reference point is the mill feed at the primary crusher.
  3. Mineral reserves are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.38 g/t Au.
  4. Cut-off grade assumes US$1,650/oz Au at a currency exchange rate of US$0.78 per C$1.00; 99.8% payable gold; US$5.00/oz off-site costs (refining and transport); and uses an 87% metallurgical recovery. The cut-off grade covers processing costs of $15.20/t, administrative (G&A) costs of $5.30/t, and a stockpile rehandle cost of $1.85/t.
  5. Mined tonnes and grade are based on a smallest mining unit (SMU) of 6 m x 6 m x 6 m, including additional mining losses estimated for the removal of isolated blocks (surrounded by waste) and low-grade (<0.5 g/t Au) blocks bounded by waste on three sides.
  6. Numbers have been rounded as required by reporting guidelines.
